The University, as a governmental entity of the State of Utah, is subject to the Government Records Access and Management Act, Utah Code sections 63G-2-101 to -901 (“GRAMA”).
GRAMA specifies that only those who are legal “persons” have rights under GRAMA to receive records. See id. at § 63G-2-201(7) (“a governmental entity shall provide a person with a certified copy of a record if . . .”). “Person” is defined by GRAMA as one of the following: an individual, a nonprofit or profit corporation, a partnership, a sole proprietorship, or other type of business organization. Id. at § 63G-2-103(17).
In addition, GRAMA requires that a person making a request for a record provide the person’s name, as well as the person’s mailing address; daytime phone number; and email address, if the person is willing to accept communications by email. Id. at § 63G-2-204(1). Because you, the requester, have not provided the above information associated with you or your company with your request for records, your request does not fulfill the statutory requirements for a GRAMA request. Please log into the University of Utah Public Records portal and update your customer profile with your mailing address and daytime phone number and ensure that your customer profile includes the correct email address associated with you or your company. Please notify us through the portal when you have completed all updates. Please note that if the University does not receive notification of your updates within ten (10) business days of this message, your request will be closed.
